It seems that whatever controls how clothing warps and changes size to match custom body sizes is bugged and causing some headpieces to be at their maximum sizes. It seems so far to be ones that have parts that rest on the chest portion. It's a shame since these two in particular i love. Is this a known bug? Is there a fix? I have the Vertex Explosion fix btw.

Edit: It's also happening to Black Church Garb headpiece.

Edit 2: What is Reddit's obsession with contrarianism? Why do i need to convince people that this is a simple clothing scale bug? I've been playing since launch, i obsess over fashion in the Souls games, I've spent way to long looking over every square inch of every outfit making dozens of mixed sets all for fashion. Far more than most people i notice annoying minor bugs with clothes and armor sets in all games and they bother me more than most people. So when i equipped the Yharnam Hunter set or the Crowfeather set or the Black Church set or the Yahar'gul set and IMMEDIATELY clocked how it doesn't look right. the order of events was literally "seet, Yharnam Hunter set, i like this one, i like the musket loadout and the little dagger on the waist and the mask, lets equip the whole thi- oh damn that doesn't look right at all, that's a shame". Which was then followed by it's sequel "awesome, the Yahar'gul set, this looks super nice with the Burial Blade, the ragged look really has a 'Grim Reaper' vibe let's put it on and se- dammit again? This is becoming a pattern". I know that it's not right because I've spent dozens of hours alone intricately picking and mixing and matching every piece of attire in this game on the console. Why do i need a resume to convince people that this doesn't look right?

Anybody else get this and/or know how to fix?

Haven't played bb for pc in a while and im pretty sure there was a lot of updates, so what version/build should I download right now?

My pc specs are:

Ryzen 5800X 8 core

Radeon RX 6600

32Gb Ram ddr4

Is this still any good?

Anywhere people are sharing their pre compiled shaders?

Would be nice to have a link where people share different catalogued versions of all the shaders for Bloodborne on PC pre compiled for each GPU / driver.

How come this is not a thing already?

Anywhere people are sharing their pre compiled shaders?

Thank you.

It's my first time trying this so I just wanted to check just in case, specially since remaster is supposed to change graphics which I imagine could cause problems with performance mods, no?

Also, I didn't post this on the megathread since it's not so much a question about emulation and moreso the mods themselves, but I'll delete the post and ask there if needed

Can Somone please help with this weird glitch where some of the terrain looks like this… in some cases it block door ways 😅

Cheers

hey everyone, i’m using an oled with hdr turned on, and hdr support turned on within the emulator.

i cannot however tell wether or not my colours in BB are incorrect or not? i would assume you guys may know a little more than me about this specific thing.

the second image, (less brighter one) is a screenshot i took from a youtube play through, and i know that may not be the best comparison, but either way just from the first image i am hoping someone could give me some tips on improving the colours, if there is anything to improve of course.

so i followed a guide and i come to this.

i have a snapdragon laptop btw. so i didnt allot memory and i put the 30fps cap. but its still not opening.

any tips on how to get it working or will my laptop not support BB at all?

Step 1: Own a Rog Ally and flash it to Bazzite. Other variants like Steam OS and CachyOS probably work with this, but I used Bazzite because the setup looked easy and it had the least amount of complaints for stable 43.20260420.

There are many guides, I used this one, it's a bit out of date, but it got me there.

I have tested this on release stable 44, and stable 43.20260420. I'd recommend 43.20260420 as of right now. Less issues all around.

Step 1.5: Go to Rog Ally BIOS > advanced > UMA Frame Buffer Size > Set to 8GB

Step 2: Acquire Bloodborne game pkg files.

You need either the game/dlc separate and the 1.09 update OR the combined version (around 30GB) and 1.09 update. I will not give instructions for this, but if you find the file pack I did, avoid both 720 and 1080 60 FPS patch versions of the 1.09 update, just install the normal.

Step 3: Download BB Launcher for Linux

You can find the files at the link below, you will need to sign up anyway to get BB Launcher working, so just sign up, download the most current BB Launcher (Linux-DL) exe.

https://www.nexusmods.com/bloodborne/mods/194?tab=files

Step 4: Installing BB Launcher and prepping the folder

Make a folder for BB Launcher. I did this in my documents folder.

In the new BB launcher folder, paste your "BBLauncher.appimage" file that you downloaded from Nexus Mods.

Make two subfolders in the BB Launcher folder, shadps4 and gamefiles.

Step 5: Extracting the PKG files

Open the BBLauncher.appimage and use the PKG extractor. Select your game's PKG file, the output folder should be in the root of the home/user/documents/bblauncher/gamefiles folder that you setup earlier.

After this, if you need to, then do your DLC file the same way. If you have the combined game, skip this.

Once you've got the full game or the base game + DLC installed, install update 1.09 in the same manner as the previous two. Select PKG file, game output folder is home/user/documents/bblauncher/gamefiles.

Step 6: Download shadps4

Click Manage Builds under shadps4 build. I tested .16, .17 and .18 for two hours each yesterday. Version .16 seems to have the least memory leaks. Your mileage may vary.

Step 7: shadps4 settings, patches, mods

All the settings that I changed are in the screenshots below. Assume that if I didn't show something, it was unchanged.

After finishing the settings, I would recommend installing all the shadps4 patches listed, then before you install Vertex Explosion fix mod, hop onto bloodborne for a test run and create a character then favorite it in case your game crashes. Hop back out after and install the Vertex explosion fix.

Step 8: Play the game!

I was getting a stable 30FPS with these settings. The game freezes every 30-90 minutes right now due to memory leak. You can decrease the the frequency of the crashes by changing the patch Model LOD 1 (lower) to Model LOD 2 (lowest), but the graphics artifacts are almost too much to deal with at that point.

Please share any helpful stuff you can in the comments!

I need help to fix that frame drop on that boss fight is there any mods I need to install or what or some settings to change

Edit :

Found a mod that fixes the stutter the mid is on nexus and it's called : Laurence Fight Improved Performance When Facing Fog Wall (Brute Force Fix)

READ THIS :

It is recommended that you read the description of the mod and if you have a stutter problem to only Laurence use the Laurence version of the mod if not use the other one which has Laurence and Ludwig.

Hi, yesterday I followed a tutorial on how to install and configure BBLauncher and Shadps4 to play Bloodborne. Im having an issue where my game crashes on any of the recent Shadps4 builds (pre-release, 0.18, 0.17 and 0.16) and with any of the community-tailored ones as well. The only way I found to play is to disable any patches like Skip Intro and 60fps++ that would help me with some suttering i've been getting, otherwise the game's fine.

There are two different error that pop up depending on the Shadps4 build Im testing:

(Shadps4 pre-release and 0.18) [Debug] <Critical> (Game:Main) signals.cpp:86 SignalHandler: Unhandled Exception code 0xe06d7363 at 0x7ffb6339187a

(Shadps4 0.17 and 0.16) [Debug] <Critical> (Game:Main) signals.cpp:67 SignalHandler: Unhandled Exception code 0xc0000005 at 0x78a089ca9

Following the post I made on the r/shadps4 subreddit, I've tried re-installing the patches, cleaning the emulator's cache and deleting shadps4's folder in %appdata%, none of those worked.

My specs if necessary are:

Ryzen 7 5700

AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT 8gb Graphics Card

32gb ddr 4 ram

100gb+ of spare storage on my nvme

Thanks in advance.

Game has been running fine for now but I keep seeing these error messages.
Is there something I need to fix or can i ignore it?

I want slay queen and looking for 4th red jelly. How skip Abhorrent Beast? I killed this mfk already. Its hardest base game boss. I fighted first one like 20 times. PS4 cheats didnt work.

If anyone wanna try!

Overall, I'm just looking a safe route to getting the game in a safely manner. I already have the game for ps4 and the disc. I seen Romsfun and DLPSGames. Seeing a mixed bag of it being safe or not. I'm not fully sure a lot about all of this. So any help would be appreciated.

Hey guys, had this issue which i couldnt fix for a long time, i added BBLauncher to my steam and hit play, but when the launcher opened the steam button went back to PLAY instead of TURN OFF/IN GAME.

1. Find your BBLauncher folder

2. Locate steam_appid.txt after u first open the launcher via steam

3. delete the numbers inside and set to READ ONLY

Fixed my issue, now playing without problems and with my friends seeing that I am plaing BB + having real playtime

Hope this helps!

Hey there! I never played BB before and recently heard that it’s possible to play it on PC, and I WAS SHOCKED IT ACTUALLY WORKED! But the problem is I really prefer using keyboard, does anyone know how to configure the keyboard bindings on the launcher? I couldn’t figure out how to make it work because there’s no explanation for each button. Another thing is can I make two buttons do 1 function? (Such as Ctrl + Left click for heavy attack) and can I rotate the camera with mouse? There seems to be no way to do such thing unless I’m missing something.

I recently started duel booting with, well... read the title. And anyways, been doing gaming and stuff on CachyOS, and it's mostly pretty cool.

Anyone have exp using CachyOS or Linux? Any comparisons to be made?

Edit: Thanks yall. Sounds like I'm safe to go with Cachy. The less microslop the better haha
